PCI express SSD

[ubunterooster]

Linux compatible, bootable, Similar price to SATA brethren, Killing Speeds.

I currently have a SATA SSD, but wonder how these differ in regards to GRUB and Partitioning.

Ideas or any other thoughts?

Looking forward to it myself. I'll be getting one on release for sure. I also wonder how they'll be recognized and I expect some amount of trouble shooting.

Performance Optimization: Background Garbage Collection (GC)


Must know more about that before buying one, it could be a major security hole. Would not be cool if it decided that you don't need to erase your data when you tell it to. I'm very wary of so-called "performance optimizations".
